Should I avoid HyperMemory and TurboCache?

[FunkyT]

I'm looking for a 256MB entry level PCI-E card for a basic, non-gaming PC.

I'm assuming it's a bad thing to have a card which steals system memory? It's not obvious which cards have this feature!

Help me lads... £30-£40 price range please

Thanks but I'd still like to avoid it. Maybe I'm being pedantic

I'd like to avoid this TurboCache/HyperMemory crap - which entry level PCI-E cards have 256MB of dedicated video RAM?

256MB video is recommended for Windows Vista Aero tbh.
